Thank you very much for the offer Matt.
It's a complex problem: Yes, there is lots that needs to be done, but most of it is things that you can't get someone to do if they may wish to compete.
As an organizer, I look forward to having a good turnout. I think in some measure it makes it feel more worth wild. Having said that, I have competed in some VERY good Navex events, that had fairly low entry numbers.
When it comes to organizing an event then, I stay away from asking for help from most people, in the hopes that those people will come out and enter. There is a group of checkpoint crews, who don't generally compete, that we are lucky enough to have. Some are former competitors, some are folks who simply wish to help out. We owe them a great debt of thanks.
This year has had some requirements of my time that I've not had to work with in years past. This has been most of the issue for the delay/postponement of the first regional. I'm hoping things will return to normal for me in the next year.
Going to come back to this in a bit: Stay tuned....
Back:
So Matt: in relation to your offer: I do have something that I need a person for that will take about half a day out on the road. I've not asked for help though, because I want to hold out hope that they could be convinced of entering. (just to be clear, I have someone for this, but it's just me finding the time yet again)
I have hope that You, Joe and the mighty S70 will be on the entry list, and once I use you for this task, you can't enter. (You'll know too much.
)
It's a situation that in someways is unique to rallying. Seeing a road, knowing a turn, checking on a checkpoint location.... These things all could lend an unfair advantage to a team.
What strikes me most about the past month and a half, is that there have been a lot of people asking about the event. That is a very positive sign that so many are interested.
I'll continue to beaver away in the background.
